18 photos of people who always refused to have a pet in the house and now they treat it like their child
There are many people who would love to have a pet at home, a dog or a cat, but are unable to do so because they live with parents, spouses, or companions that do not even want to hear about having a domestic animal in the house!
Their reasons are various - "Too much responsibility, they're too messy", "I don't like them" or "I hate it when they come up to me and try to lick me" - in short, it feels like you are always fighting a losing battle.
Yet, it happens just as often, that the moment you show up at home with a puppy or kitten rescued from the streets, many hearts melt and the sweet animal is welcomed like a member of the family.
An excellent example is Twitter user Ruby who posted photos of her father who "didn't want to have a cat" but who surrendered at the kitten's first meow!
And, now, Ruby has more than one cat and her father takes care of them as if they were his children. Her photos showing her father's "conversion" have been so successful that many other users have also shared their photos and stories.
